I cannot click onto certain site addresses in my e-mail or in my browser and get that site to come up? Why? What can I do to fix?

What is the error? Be more specific about what you mean by it won't come up.
What OS? What browser? What e-mail client?

I am operating an e-machine, model number T4170, with standard features and Microsoft programs. I am running Windows XP. I cannot click, with my mouse, on top of an address/link/word and have the address appear into my browser, so I can bring up that special site. I cannot click the mouse in the browser site area either, and have the link/address present itself in the address field. Hope this will clarify. If not, I can try to be more specific.

What site?

If you are having problems with only one site, then I suggest that the problem is with the site.

If you hare having the problem with multiple sites, then it is your computer/broswer problem. I'd begin by deleting all history, temporary internet files, cookies, ~*.* files, *.tmp, etc. Make sure you have space on the hdd and run a scandisk and a defragmentation.

I re-read your question. Sometimes the problem with links contained within e-mail is that the link is taken down almost immediately (especially if it is spam) and is no longer active.

Another thing to try is to copy the link into Internet Explorer and see if you get better results with IE. I use both Netscape and IE and I am noticing that there's a lot of sites that no longer appear properly with Netscape Navigator. Probably has a lot to do with Front Page Extensions for IE... most every site will work in IE 5.5 if the link is still good.

The links aren't specific links, such as clicking on "www.test@help.mee" in the e-mail letter and wanting it to go to the browser. It has happened in alot of e-mails, but it happens continually in the Internet. For example; I click on a link that leads to the next relating issue or window, and all I get is the "dunk" error sound. Like there is something missing, such as the letter "Y" is missing from address of the link or the actual page is no longer available from that links web. Try a new E-mail program, and a new browser? I have already done a "mplete start from scratch" with all of the bedrooms
